The Secret Service has absolutely no wiggle room to be nice or brush something off. Someone in the town heard this, thought he could just possibly be serious and called up the Secret Service. They did their job, as they always have. This is nothing new. This has happened under Bush, Clinton, Reagan, Bush Sr., etc. etc.
You can protest all you want. You can walk out in public and yell at the top of your lungs,"GEORGE W. BUSH IS A HORRIBLE PRESIDENT AND PERSON! HE SHOULD BE REMOVED FROM OFFICE IMMEDIATELY!" 100% acceptable. If you walk out in public and yell "I'M GOING TO KILL GEORGE W. BUSH FOR KILLING ALL THOSE INNOCENT IRAQI'S!" Then you've crossed the line. And if someone reports you the Secret Service will not fuck around.
Don't believe me? Then by all means try. Then, for comparison's sake, try again under the next president, be it Kerry or whoever.

One day an Englishman, a Scotsman, and an Irishman walked into a pub together. They each bought a pint of Guinness. Just as they were about to enjoy their creamy beverage, three flies landed in each of their pints. The Englishman pushed his beer away in disgust. The Scotsman fished the fly out of his beer and continued drinking it, as if nothing had happened. The Irishman, too, picked the fly out of his drink but then held it out over the beer and yelled "SPIT IT OUT, SPIT IT OUT, YOU BASTARD!"
